Is there anything more satisfying than the sights and sounds of a yakisugi installation? We don’t think so.
Love seeing @beckettconstruction in action.
A study in texture and form: the Dutchmoor Valley Guesthouse.
On a rural farmstead in Indiana, three understated shed volumes clad in our Gendai® yakisugi finished with amber linseed oil come together to form a quietly striking composition.

Bold, dramatic, and deeply traditional 🔥
Suyaki® is the most easily identifiable of our yakisugi “shou sugi ban” products, and its versatility is unmatched.
Swipe through to see how Suyaki® brings a powerful, modern edge to some projects and a timeless, traditional feel to others. From striking exteriors to rich interior accents, its deep, leathery texture makes a statement wherever it’s used.
The Phinney Mini house is small but mighty 🏡
This 1907 Seattle farm cottage was thoughtfully modernized by @best_practice, who clad the modern addition in our Gendai® yakisugi in a Linseed Black finish. The home now sports an ofuro, a traditional Japanese soaking tub, accessed indoors and out through accordion doors that connect the tub to the exterior living space.
